BT is launching a new service that translates texts into voicemail.
Since zillions of people will be listening to these messages it is pretty important to get right voice. BT has announced that has chosen Tom Baker, a former Doctor Who (one of the UK’s longest lasting Sci Fi series) and the narrator of hit comedy 'Little Britain' (a very zany comedy).
Apparently Baker spent 11 days recording every single sound in the English language with up to 11,593 phrases recorded covering their different contexts.
Gavin Patterson, BT group managing director of consumer services, said: "He's the perfect choice to be the new voice of text, showing everyone -- young and old -- how easy and fun it is to send and receive texts on your home phone."
Mr Baker, king of the age neutral voices. Dick Stroud.
